Guest Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Perhaps some of you know the folks involved in this serious accident. If so, I sincerely hope that you can report that they survived. Be safe. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/pontiac/deluxe/1977752.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yikes, don't know what you'd salvage off the thing, and I don't know that I'd buy any car that still had blood on the seats....they should either have cleaned or removed seats....that steering wheel is a scary reminder of how dangerous any car can be....I agree, too, hope the occupants are OK now...wow...

46 woodie Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Very scary, as tomorrow we leave for a 16 day vacation in our '46 Ford Wagon. I live on Long Island and my biggest usual fear is ether the Cross Bronx Expressway or the Cross Island Parkway. Once I get on the New Jersey Turnpike I can breath. Hope they are OK.

Mike36 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Don't want to scare you, but the Jersey Pike is no place to relax! Best of luck on your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until 4 PM on Friday to leave. More of a chance of being mugged in your car than an accident at speed. I left a 2PM meeting at the 106th ANG one Friday. OnStar even gave up on me.

46 woodie Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Leaving at 4 AM, hope all I need to dodge are the 18 wheelers. Was going to go over the Verrazano Bridge but was warned about MEGA construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Is this the same car? http://www.wbtv.com/story/35159466/highway-patrol-drunk-driver-crashed-39-pontiac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hopefully they are alive and ok. The wheels, engine/trans (if not broken) and A/C compressor and under dash unit are worth more than current bid of $250. I'm sure other parts could be salvaged also.

I have little/no sympathy for drunk drivers. Fortunately, in this case, no innocents were hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yep. Same car. Too bad more people don't think about what could happen in a car after drinking. I am just sooooo glad that nobody outside of the car's occupants were hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass is Best Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Remember to always pay attention. Always leave yourself an out. Be ready to react. Be safe out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Seeing the steering wheel and dash, I would say they are both lucky to even survive. Hopefully their injurys are not life altering. Yet another reminder of what can happen when impairment is involved. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I looked at the damage to that car and couldn't really figure out what happened. I did notice the dual master cylinder and disc brakes. From what I have heard and read I thought it must be way safer than a couple of my cars. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on Long Island and my biggest usual fear is ether the Cross Bronx Expressway or the Cross Island Parkway. Once I get on the New Jersey Turnpike I can breath. Hope they are OK. The Cross Bronx is no traffic (seldom and a day for humanity when there is none) it is scary at 15 mph, absolutely horrifying at 60 MPH, and I am born and raised in "Da Bronx. If you are going slow like usual on the Cross Bronx, just look at the debris that is lying on the shoulder of the roadway.........amazing! A street sweeper once every 5 years would help. It has to be the worst maintained roadways in the US and considering it is one of the most heavily traveled corridors it makes one wonder. It is the worst I have ever driven on. If I did not know any better I would swear I was driving on a road in a third world nation. Good luck should be easier on a Saturday Morning. I am leaving with my 60 Impala next week for a few days traveling the Cross Bronx also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
